vintage 2019 | Such a solid and beautiful pinot noir, especially with 6-8 cellar years. My wife said three times: my gosh, this is delicious. Paired with a steak, shimesji mushrooms, parsnip frites and a salad. Loads of red fruit, esp raspberries. Vibrant taste. Crucial to pick the largest glasses. — 9 days ago

Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — a year ago

Fruity, fresh, a bit sauer, very aromatic, peach, sweet, it reminds me tk@something i cannot describe (Hannah), we would drink this wine in the summer, watching the sunset in a warm place, sparkling. Very recommended!! — 4 years ago

Vintage 2016 | when I bought this in Germany, I asked how long it would last. The Ahr is not known for Riesling, do not keep it too long, was the answer. Wrong answer, imo. This wine is now delicious with awesome sweet/acidity balance. Great! — a year ago

My first Spätburgunder. So I'm comparing to the Pinot-I-Know.
On the wonderful nose I get more raspberry than cherry. Slightly floral, but a wild floral and a touch of leather. Really great, unique.
Powerful flavor, not what I expected! The acid hits right away but immediately after you get the raspberry on your tongue that your nose was promising. Rich deep texture, again not what I was expecting from a cold weather pinot noir. Thick, earthy texture, clearly unfiltered. Enjoying the long finish where you can appreciate their use of oak- it really melds so well with the fruit- again think of eating the first ripe raspberries of early summer. — 3 years ago
